Festive Sangria Recipes

CAVA SANGRIA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the sliced apple, orange and diced pineapple. Cover with two tablespoons of sugar and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
• Add the brandy, orange liqueur, pineapple juice, mint and spices. Using the back of a wooden spoon, muddle the mint and fruit just a bit.
• Chill this mixture (if possible) for at least an hour.
• Before serving, add the chilled cava and frozen grapes, and lightly stir to combine. Adjust for sweetness by adding sugar (superfine is best) or simple syrup. To serve, either ladle it into glasses filled with ice cubes, or into a serving pitcher filled halfway with ice.

WORLD'S BEST SANGRIA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pitcher, add red wine, brandy and orange juice and stir all the ingredients together.
• Add diced apples, oranges and lemon juice to a large pitcher. Stir to combine.
• Refrigerate sangria for 3 to 4 hours, up to overnight, before serving. When ready to serve, give the sangria one last stir and pour over a glass of ice. Top with sparkling water for some bubbles if desired. This red sangria recipe should last in the fridge up to 5 days, but that length of time will really depend on the freshness of the fruit you use.
